00:00We are still together on MEDIEN TV. Thank you for remaining faithful to us. Here are the
00:20titles of your newspaper.
00:21In the middle of the military escalation between Israel and the Lebanese Hezbollah, the UN representative
00:28warns of an imminent catastrophe in Mohenry.
00:36France now has a new government. More than two weeks after the nomination of Michel Barnier
00:42in Matignon, the Elysée unveiled the list of a team of 39 ministers.
00:47It is too late to organize a new debate. The scrutiny has already begun in the United States.
00:56The words of Donald Trump, who rejected yesterday the challenge raised by his rival,
01:01Democrat Kamala Harris, to debate a new time before the US presidential election in 5 years.
01:07We start this newspaper in Morocco, first of all with these new floods that occurred
01:18in the south of the kingdom. Floods that occurred in the south of the kingdom. Heavy rains
01:24fell on Tata and caused exceptional rains. A bus was carried by the waters on Friday.
01:32Two of its passengers died, 13 could have been rescued. There are still missing people.
01:38Local authorities are mobilizing to find them. The most torrential had already caused the death
01:45of at least 18 people two weeks ago in the south of the kingdom.
01:53Mohamed Labouchi is a meteorologist. He explains to us that what is at the origin of these
01:59heavy rains in the last two weeks in Morocco. Let's listen to him.
02:05Indeed, as you have noticed, the Moroccan meteorological situation has been characterized
02:12by a rise of humid air from the tropics to the north, which caused the rains in Lviv,
02:21which you have seen in other reports, which are due to clouds, cumulus, cumulonimbus,
02:30which usually give strong rainfall in a very short time.
02:35Given the site that is affected by these rains in Lviv, first by the nature of the soil
02:42and the duration of these rainfalls, all the water that falls, it flows towards the Oueds,
02:51hence the creeks that surround this region most of the time.
02:56These regions were generally not interested in such a quantity of rain in this period,
03:04but this is an indication that is very speaking, since we are currently talking about extreme phenomena
03:12that are due to climate change. Climate change is currently a reality,
03:18and you see the extreme phenomena that interest it, whether in the field of rain geometry,
03:24which becomes more and more intense and frequent, whether in heat waves,
03:30the cold, the tides, and these phenomena that interest the regions that they were not interested in before.
03:38These areas that are currently very rainy, and others that were rainy and humid, and which are dry now.
03:48So all the international scientific instances, particularly those of meteorology,
03:56under the auspices of the World Meteorological Organization or the GIEC,
04:02confirm that these phenomena will become more and more recurrent and more and more intense.
04:13France now has a new government. More than two weeks after the appointment of Michel Barnier in Matignon,
04:19the Secretary-General of the Elysée unveiled the list of 39 ministers. Let's listen to it.
04:26The President of the Republic has named Mr. Didier Migaud, Guard of the Sceaux, Minister of Justice.
04:34Mrs. Catherine Vautrin, Minister of Partnership with the Territories and Decentralization.
04:41Mr. Bruno Retailleau, Minister of the Interior.
04:47Mrs. Anne Jeuneté, Minister of National Education.
04:52Mr. Jean-Noël Barraud, Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs.
04:58Mrs. Rachida Dati, Minister of Culture.
05:03Mr. Sébastien Lecornu, Minister of the Armed Forces and Former Fighters.
05:10Mrs. Agnès Bannier-Runacher, Minister of Ecological Transition, Energy, Climate and Risk Prevention.
05:20Mr. Antoine Armand, Minister of Economy, Finance and Industry.
05:27Will the Barnier government be able to stand in a fragmented National Assembly in three blocks?
05:33Let's listen to Jean-François Pauly, Director of the Institut Méditerranéen de Droits et Géopolitique.
05:41If we look at the composition of the Assembly, we can consider that if the group composed of the presidential parties with Renaissance, Modem, etc.
05:52and the group of the New Popular Front with the Socialist Party and the Ecologists,
05:58with the Republicans and their allies, can find a majority in this new government.
06:09We just have to look at these three groups and the majority of 289 members can be reached
06:17because this Barnier government includes members of the PS and the PS has 64 seats in the Assembly.
06:24The members of the Renaissance, of course, of the Modem, and if we also look at the members of the Republican Party,
06:34there are still 66 seats that can be replaced in favor of the enlarged presidential majority.
06:45So, anything can happen, but potentially a majority is possible with this composition of the government as we know it tonight.
06:58Then, we will have to see with practice how all this can unfold.
07:03The actions of one and the other, with Jean-Luc Mélenchon who is very offensive in the criticism
07:08and whose position can also have an impact on the other members of the New Popular Front.
07:15An aggregation of circumstances during the legislative elections, but will this aggregation hold?
07:24Obviously, with the presence of Didier Migaud, for example, who comes from the PS,
07:29this is a signal sent to the PS group, to the National Assembly, so that they can eventually rally to certain actions,
07:37to certain legislative provisions that could be put in place by the new government.
07:44Missiles fired from Lebanon against Israeli strikes on the southern border of Beirut.
07:50The escalation continues between the Israeli army and the Lebanese Hezbollah,
07:54which fired today more than 100 projectiles in the direction of Israel.
07:58Israel, which carried out intense bombardments yesterday against the south of Lebanon,
08:03in favor of the Hezbollah, the day after a strike by Tahrir,
08:07which hit the elite unit of the pro-Iranian movement.
08:11A total of 37 people were killed.
08:13Today, the representative of the UN in Lebanon has warned against an imminent catastrophe in the Middle East.
08:25No respite either in the war in Gaza.
08:28The Palestinian enclave is still piloted by the Israeli army,
08:32which targeted a school yesterday,
08:34counting at least 21 deaths, including 13 children and 6 women,
08:39one of whom was pregnant.
08:41A new strike condemned by Hamas, which denounces a war crime under American cover.
08:49Israel targets hospitals, schools and also the media.
08:56The Israeli forces carried out a raid today in the offices of Al Jazeera.
09:02Ramallah, an occupied Jordan, is issued a 45-day arrest warrant.
09:07A decision of justice according to the Israeli army.
09:10The Qatari television channel says it does not know the reason.
09:14Israel often accuses Al Jazeera of promoting terrorism.
09:22The world celebrated yesterday the International Alzheimer's Day.
09:27According to the World Health Organization,
09:30more than 55 million people are suffering from dementia worldwide
09:34and every year 10 million new cases are reported.
09:38Alzheimer's disease not only destroys memories,
09:42but also weakens families.
09:47The treatment of patients suffering from Alzheimer's
09:52poses another issue in relation to the high cost of treatment.
09:57What is the situation in Morocco?
09:59I invite you to listen to the answer of Dr. Safa Littime, a neurologist.
10:03I think it is really something that must be mentioned by the actors of civil society.
10:10We see it every day in consultation.
10:13People really support 90% of the cost of the pathology.
10:18There is help, there are medicines that are still reimbursed
10:22by the social prevention organizations,
10:25but really 90% of the direct costs,
10:29that is to say medicines, help,
10:32diapers for example for people who are in a fairly advanced phase,
10:37and all this is supported by families and households,
10:40and indirect costs because often the main donors stop working.
10:45Often it is women who stop working,
10:48so they no longer have income,
10:51and this is a cost that impacts society in a very, very important way.
10:58And also, even on the social and human side,
11:02there are people who find themselves in families,
11:05fortunately still in Morocco,
11:07but who disturb a little bit the functioning of the family,
11:11the education of the children, the work,
11:14and all this is supported by our brave helpers,
11:18to whom I really give my hat,
11:20the family and non-family helpers,
11:22because there are also people who have P,
11:25to keep an Alzheimer person,
11:29and who really find themselves without training,
11:32without facing this terrible pathology,
11:35and often without really a lot of training,
11:40and support, and material help, and also psychological.
11:45So really it's something that still remains,
11:48there is a lot to do.
11:50I know that in our country there are initiatives,
11:54there are efforts being made.
11:56For example, I mention the NADA center in Rabat,
12:00which is a day-care center,
12:02which is very, very important for people with Alzheimer's
12:05in phases that are not yet very advanced,
12:08who need occupational activity,
12:11with orthophonists, with helpers,
12:15doctors who can take care of them,
12:17and of course take care of them,
12:19and relieve a little bit the family help.
12:23Also in Bensik, in Kaza recently,
12:26and so we are happy with these efforts,
12:32and we are asking for even more,
12:36because the disease is there,
12:38it is more and more frequent,
12:40our seniors need these centers,
12:44and families as well.
12:47In the United States,
12:48Donald Trump rejected yesterday the challenge
12:50financed by his rival Democrat Kamala Harris
12:53to debate a new time
12:56before the US presidential election on November 5th
12:58for the Republican candidate.
13:00I quote,
13:01It is too late to organize a new debate.
13:03The scrutiny has already begun.
13:05In reference to the beginning of the vote,
13:08by anticipation in some states of the country,
13:10the Vice President had proposed a few hours earlier
13:13to his Republican opponent
13:16a confrontation on October 23rd on CNN.
13:21Russia announced yesterday
13:23that it would not participate
13:25in the second summit on Ukraine
13:27planned in Kiev in November.
13:30Vladimir Putin had already made it known
13:33during the first summit
13:35that he would not accept to talk about peace
13:37on one condition,
13:39that Ukraine renounces its sovereignty
13:42over five of its occupied regions,
13:44in part or entirely by Russia,
13:46and of which it claims the annexation.
13:51The war in Sudan
13:54has caused tens of thousands of deaths
13:57and millions of displaced people.
14:00In addition,
14:02the humanitarian situation is catastrophic.
14:04The Secretary General of the United Nations,
14:07Antonio Guterres,
14:09yesterday exhorted the parties to the conflict
14:12to agree on a ceasefire
14:14to shut down weapons in the country.
14:21Since 2014,
14:23in the Ivory Coast,
14:25cases of child abduction are frequent.
14:27How to deal with it?
14:29The Ivorian authorities have found an answer
14:31to this question.
14:33Max Wobi and Ferdinand Kouakou.
14:35It is a measure that is part of a will
14:37to strengthen the security of citizens
14:39and above all,
14:41to send a strong message
14:43to the perpetrators of the crime against minors.
14:45The Ivory Coast has just launched a new plan
14:47to fight child abduction.
14:49This plan is based on these four main criteria
14:51to be triggered.
14:53The victim must be under the age of 18,
14:55the abduction must be confirmed,
14:57the life or physical integrity of the victim
14:59must be in danger,
15:01and the dissemination of the alert
15:03must be able to help locate the child.
15:05These criteria are rigorously evaluated
15:07by the Attorney General of the Republic,
15:09who has the last word
15:11on triggering the alert.
15:13It is crucial that we have a collaboration
15:15of the various actors.
15:17The success of this plan involves a strong
15:19and strong collaboration
15:21between the various actors, prosecutors,
15:23law enforcement, media, telephone operators,
15:25the population as a whole.
15:27Everyone plays a key role,
15:29the citizens in particular,
15:31who must remain vigilant
15:33and report all relevant information.
15:35The Ivory Coast has passed a historic stage
15:37with the launch of its alert plan
15:39for child abduction.
15:41This ambitious device mobilizes
15:43all the forces of society
15:45to protect the most vulnerable children
15:47from abduction.
15:49The inter-ministerial cooperation,
15:51the use of technology
15:53and the awareness of the population
15:55are the levers that will ensure
15:57the success of this unprecedented plan
15:59in Africa.
16:01We are now in Senegal,
16:03where the National Blood Transfusion Center
16:05is facing a worrying shortage
16:07of blood bags,
16:09largely due to the increase
16:11in road accidents
16:13In this situation,
16:15the Senegal Jogjob Association
16:17has tried to mobilize the youth
16:19during a blood donation campaign.
16:25The National Blood Transfusion Center
16:27has opened its doors to many donors
16:29after its urgent call for blood donations,
16:31a call to which
16:33the Senegal Jogjob Association
16:35quickly responded.
16:37This donation will be used
16:39for many things,
16:41in order to free
16:43or save patients
16:45who are currently in critical conditions
16:47or in emergencies.
16:49So we felt it was necessary
16:51to make this trip,
16:53which is symbolic.
16:55Since the beginning of the year,
16:57Senegal has recorded a high rate
16:59of road accidents,
17:01resulting in a significant deficit
17:03in blood bank reserves.
17:05The CNTS therefore invites all Senegalese
17:07to go to the nearest blood transfusion centers.
17:09You should not expect
17:11that a person really close to you
17:13has a shortage of blood bags
17:15so that you come
17:17to make your donation.
17:19It must be something
17:21patriotic.
17:23Every three months,
17:25for men,
17:27there is a three-month period
17:29for the first donation
17:31and the second donation,
17:33and for women,
17:35it is every four months.
17:37The youth,
17:39aged between 18 and 35,
17:41represent 28%
17:43of the national population.
17:45They are the main target
17:47of this blood donation initiative.
17:49We are calling on all
17:51the Senegalese youth
17:53who really want to be part
17:55of this development movement
17:57on an economic and health level
17:59to come and donate their blood
18:01and help the society
18:03that needs it.
18:05Many students have come
18:07to share their blood
18:09to save lives.
18:11I was just passing by.
18:13It was the end of the class.
18:15I came to donate my blood
18:17to help those who need it.
18:19I had not had the opportunity
18:21to do it before,
18:23but I have always wanted to do it.
18:25The Senegal JogJob Association,
18:27at the forefront of this mobilization,
18:29intends to renew
18:31this initiative
18:33and to help even more
18:35young people to donate their blood.
18:37Morocco is a champion
18:39of the automotive industry.
18:41With a turnover of 15 billion euros,
18:43the kingdom
18:45is now ahead of China.
18:47Why is Morocco
18:49so prominent in the automotive sector,
18:51especially in the European market?
18:53What is its strength?
18:55This is the answer to this report
18:57from Switzerland.
18:59Morocco surpasses China
19:01in the European automotive sector.
19:03In a spectacular development
19:05for the national economy,
19:07the kingdom has recently surpassed China
19:09by becoming the main commercial partner
19:11of the European Union,
19:13including the automotive sector.
19:15Surpassing expectations
19:17and economic giants,
19:19Morocco has established itself
19:21as a leader in the European market,
19:23with a turnover of 15.1 billion euros,
19:25and thus ahead of China,
19:27which has generated 13.6 billion euros.
19:29Morocco is considered
19:31as a credible country
19:33thanks to the clear vision
19:35of His Majesty.
19:37It is a country of peace.
19:39It is a country that holds its commitments.
19:41In this context,
19:43not only
19:45is there peace and stability,
19:47but we also have an institutional framework
19:49and legislation
19:51that favours investment
19:53and gives a lot of advantages
19:55to investors.
19:57This is what we are looking for
19:59in a country
20:01where Morocco is well placed
20:03in terms of credibility
20:05in terms of investment.
20:07The second important element
20:09is that Morocco currently
20:11has the most competitive
20:13road and airport infrastructure
20:15in the world.
20:17This exceptional performance
20:19is part of a growing dynamic
20:21supported by strategic investments
20:23in the industrial sectors
20:25and by Kenitra.
20:27It should be noted that in terms of volume,
20:29China remains in the first place
20:31with 782,000 vehicles exported
20:33compared to 536,000 for Morocco.
20:35It is also clear that Morocco
20:37is diversifying its investment
20:39to increase
20:41the rate of concentration
20:43and the rate of industrial integration
20:45and also to position itself
20:47as a regional hub,
20:49a continental hub,
20:51and an international force in the field.
20:53It is also clear that China
20:55is the first international partner
20:57in the automotive industry.
20:59With the objective
21:01of producing one million vehicles
21:03annually by 2025,
21:05Morocco is not content
21:07to target the increase
21:09in quantity but also
21:11the improvement of quality
21:13and the durability of its production.
21:15The infrastructure developed
21:17around the poles of Tonger and Kenitra
21:19supports an integrated supply chain
21:21that is environmentally responsible,
21:23thus reinforcing Morocco's commitment
21:25to European environmental standards.
21:29We stay in Morocco
21:31to talk to you about the restoration
21:33of the chapel of the monastery
21:35of Tumlilin
21:37in the heights of Azrou.
21:39According to Émile Coutronin,
21:41chief of mission adjoint
21:43at the U.S. Embassy in Morocco,
21:45this achievement bears witness
21:47to the leadership of His Majesty
21:49in promoting tolerance
21:51and inter-religious dialogue.
22:01Let's welcome
22:03our guest
22:05of the morning news.
22:07Let's go back to the escalation
22:09between Hezbollah,
22:11Lebanon and Israel.
22:13We are with Mohamed Badin El Yattoui,
22:15professor of international relations
22:17and director of the master's
22:19in diplomacy
22:21at the American
22:23University of Dubai.
22:25Mohamed Badin El Yattoui,
22:27hello and thank you
22:29for accepting our invitation.
22:31Hello and thank you
22:33for this invitation.
22:35We saw it during this news.
22:37There is no rest in the war
22:39in Gaza. Israel continues
22:41to pillage the Palestinian enclave
22:43while now
22:45on another front,
22:47multiplying its strikes
22:49on the southern border of Beirut,
22:51considered as Hezbollah's fief.
22:53What is the message
22:55sent by Israel
22:57through these strikes today?
22:59The message is clear.
23:01For several days, there is a real
23:03Israeli pressure on Hezbollah
23:05and on the whole of Lebanon.
23:07In fact, there is a speech
23:09held by the Israeli authorities
23:11for several months now,
23:13to say that Hezbollah and Lebanon
23:15are confused by the importance
23:17of Hezbollah as a political party
23:19but also as an armed movement
23:21within Lebanese society.
23:23Hezbollah has more soldiers
23:25than the Lebanese army itself
23:27and is much more powerful
23:29than the Lebanese regular army.
23:31There is a real Israeli will
23:33to put pressure on Hezbollah and Lebanon.
23:35Indirectly, of course, on Iran.
23:37We saw a few weeks ago
23:39the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh
23:41in Gaza 2, but this time in Lebanon.
23:43And also, perhaps,
23:45and I think we will discuss this,
23:47to open a second front after Gaza
23:49in the south of Lebanon.
23:51These Hezbollah fighters were killed,
23:53including two leaders
23:55of his elite unit,
23:57not to mention the thousands of injured
23:59in his ranks.
24:01Some observers say that Hezbollah
24:03was decapitated, destabilized.
24:05Do you think so too?
24:07Decapitated, no,
24:09but very destabilized, yes.
24:11In fact, it is a real
24:13devastating strategic flaw
24:15shown by the Israelis,
24:17the ability to reach Hezbollah
24:19several days in a row
24:21in different places and in different ways.
24:23And also the fact that they managed
24:25to assassinate important Hezbollah officials,
24:27those who set up
24:29the various bombings
24:31in northern Israel since the fall of Lebanon.
24:33So it's going to be a problem for Hezbollah,
24:35it's going to have to reconstitute itself
24:37in a strategic defeat,
24:39since the Israelis managed to hit them
24:41in several ways, with the Bippers
24:43and then with bombings
24:45in different parts of Lebanon,
24:47the south of Beirut, the south of the capital,
24:49the valley of the Bekaa and the south of Lebanon,
24:51which are the three places where Hezbollah
24:53has had a very, very strong
24:55implementation since 1982.
24:57In any case, today,
24:59Hezbollah, despite being
25:01weakened, continues
25:03through rocket fire,
25:05to repost.
25:07How far does
25:09these hostilities
25:11between the pro-Iraqi
25:13movement and Israel lead us today?
25:15What are the risks
25:17of a generalization of the conflict
25:19in the Middle East?
25:21The risk is high,
25:23and we see that Benjamin Netanyahu
25:25and his government are looking for
25:27a global war in the region.
25:29They know that the American elections
25:31are approaching in less than two months.
25:33They know that Joe Biden will not
25:35be a candidate and that he is
25:37seriously oppressed,
25:39both internally and externally.
25:41There is also a desire to push the Iranians
25:43and Hezbollah to the fault and generalize
25:45the conflict, which will serve Benjamin Netanyahu
25:47as a good way to survive politically
25:49and stay at the head of the government
25:51for a few more months.
25:53He has a lot of problems with both
25:55his public opinion and probably
25:57Israeli justice, where he will only be
25:59at the head of the government.
26:01The third step would be
26:03to witness an invasion
26:05from the south of Lebanon by the Israeli army.
26:07This would be an element
26:09that would generate very strong tensions
26:11and could shake the region
26:13in the global war.
26:15But Hezbollah, Iran and even the United States
26:17do not want a generalized war.
26:19Except for Benjamin Netanyahu, no one wants it
26:21because everyone knows that
26:23the consequences could be disastrous
26:25for the whole region and could
26:27lead to a destabilization
26:29of many countries beyond Lebanon
26:31and beyond Iran.
26:33And today, what role
26:35could countries like
26:37Egypt, Turkey or Jordan
26:39play to reduce
26:41tensions between Hezbollah,
26:43Lebanon and Israel?
26:45Very, very limited roles
26:47because Hezbollah, unlike other
26:49militias like al-Shaabi in Iraq
26:51or even the Houthis in Yemen,
26:53is a movement that is beyond
26:55financial and military
26:57that comes from Tehran.
26:59Hezbollah is ideologically
27:01aligned in a very important way
27:03and has a direct relationship
27:05between Nasrallah
27:07and the Ayatollah Khamenei
27:09from an ideological and religious point of view
27:11that does not exist in other Shiite movements.
27:13So Hezbollah
27:15will only take care of Iran
27:17and Iran will not let the Sunni
27:19Arab or non-Arab powers
27:21get involved in what is happening
27:23for them.
27:25The Israeli government
27:27has a very clear vision
27:29of both Benjamin Netanyahu
27:31and his allies like Smotrich.
27:33They want the generalization
27:35of the conflict as well as
27:37in the north of their borders
27:39with Lebanon and in the south
27:41with Gaza.
27:43And we see that the only country
27:45that could put pressure but does not
27:47are the United States of America.
27:49In this context,
27:51what role or view do you have
27:53of Iran since the
27:55resumption of hostilities
27:57between Hezbollah and Israel?
27:59Iran is
28:01in a very difficult situation
28:03because Hezbollah is its best ally in the region
28:05as I said ideologically
28:07and they are more than close.
28:09They finance them and
28:11contributed to their creation in 1982
28:13in the Hezbollah movement
28:15and the choice of Nasrallah
28:17was decided directly
28:19in Tehran when he became
28:21president of Hezbollah.
28:23On the other hand, Iran was humiliated
28:25by the assassination of Netanyahu
28:27and Iran wants to avoid
28:29a direct confrontation
28:31with Israel
28:33or with the United States.
28:35This is something
28:37unthinkable for Iran
28:39and the different actions
28:41within the Iranian regime
28:43are opposed to the response
28:45because they know that
28:47too strong a response
28:49would lead to a war with Israel
28:51and therefore a war with the United States.
28:53This would destabilize a regime
28:55that is more fragile than we could believe
28:57especially on the economic and societal level
28:59with the different movements
29:01that have taken place in Iran in recent years.
29:03So we have gone through fragile balances.
29:05We have actors who rationally
29:07do not want conflict,
29:09except, as I said, Netanyahu's government.
29:11But a simple
29:13mesh could
29:15make everything explode
29:17and the consequences
29:19would be good for Lebanon, Iran,
29:21Syria, Iraq and even
29:23other countries in the region.
29:25Whether it is Egypt, Jordan or Turkey,
29:27they have very little maneuvering margin
29:29and very little pressure on the Israelis
29:31to calm things down.
29:33We have already seen with Gaza
29:35where it is quite limited,
29:37it is a real failure for everyone.
29:39You are right, but on Israel
29:41and Hezbollah, the maneuvering margin
29:43is even weaker.
29:45Thank you for all these details.
29:47Thank you for answering our questions.
